How close is Allen to Mahomes if all things were equal?

Yet you provide no evidence to back your stance. While simultaneously removing all the evidence I provided to back my stance. -
How close is Allen to Mahomes if all things were equal?
Einstein replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
I really don’t care what other fanbases think. Mahomes was drafted onto a team with: - An established veteran QB to learn under - The greatest offensive coach of all time - Hall-of-fame WR - Hall-of-fame TE - An incredible front office - Had made the playoffs 4 of the past 5 years Allen was drafted onto a team with: - A defensive head coach - Kelvin Benjamin as his #1 WR - Had missed the playoffs 17 of the past 18 years Mahomes walked into the best possible scenario one could be given. Allen walked into a significantly less favorable scenario. I do not care what the neanderthal mouth breathing fans of other teams who only watch Allen a few times per year think. I believe that if Allen & Mahomes switched situations, Allen would have Super Bowl rings right now and Mahomes trophy case would be empty. -
Imagine you're an accountant for a hardware store. This ruling would mean that in your role as an accountant, you wouldn't be prosecuted for actions performed as part of your job. For example, if you did something unethical like fudging numbers or hiding money, you would have immunity for those acts within your accounting duties. However, this ruling does not magically give, an accountant, the authority to transform the hardware store into an ice cream shop. Such an act is outside your role as an accountant. Similarly, today's SCOTUS ruling ensures that official acts of the President are immune from prosecution, within the bounds of his role. It does not however grant the President the power to override the Constitution.

Sunday Ticket lawsuit alleges price fixing by the NFL
Einstein replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall
In Sunday Ticket case, some owners might have a hard time coming up with $440 million If/when the NFL has to come up with $14.088 billion (plus interest and fees) in the Sunday Ticket litigation, each team will have to come up with more than $440 million. For many of the ultra-rich, there aren’t that many coins in the piggy bank. There’s a difference between paper value and liquid cash. And if 345 Park Avenue has to put out the bat signal for $440 million per team, some owners will have a hard time coming up with that amount. For one team, we know. The Packers, as a publicly-held corporation, must produce an annual report. Last year, the team had $583 million in “cash and investments.” It might be hard to otherwise do business if more than 75 percent of the cash and investments on hand have to be handed over to the league. Other owners might not be nearly as liquid as the Packers. That could make it even more important for owners lacking half a billion in gold bullion to accept private-equity investments. Which, if enough teams are looking for private equity, could depress the value. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/in-sunday-ticket-case-some-owners-might-have-a-hard-time-coming-up-with-440-million -
I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better
Einstein replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tale as old as time. Fans convince themselves, against all logic, that the position group or team is better than it is. Reminds me of when fans convinced themselves that Kyle Orton was going to step in and lead us to the playoffs. -

It’s called a Judgment Not Withstanding The Verdict. -
Sunday Ticket lawsuit alleges price fixing by the NFL

Florio has been tracking this case from the very beginning. As a former litigator and corporate attorney, Florio has done a great job explaining every step of the case. Before the verdict came out, he mentioned that the judge has been very skeptical of much of the case, and most notably the plaintifffs atorneys conduct. He said don't be surprised if the jury returns a guilty verdict with a large award and then the judge reverses it (or lessens the award). -
Neither one of them will answer the questions.

No, he was ranked 18th last aeaosn. No-where near #4. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-cornerbacks-2023-nfl-season Elite would be top 5. Taron is great, but he had rough stretches last season. He was still quite good, but he wasn’t elite last year. He was elite in 2022.
-
Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referencing both Cook and Taron. My fault.
-
He was. Surprisingly so. But he wasn’t elite (or close to it). Bills used him really well though. And I think he’ll be even better this season. 2023 was an odd outlier of a year for all RB’s which is why Cook ranked pretty high. But for example, just the previous year (2022), Cooks 2023 stats would have put him at 11th in rushing yards, 62nd in rushing TD’s, and 14th in rushing first downs.
-
He also mentioned Taron Johnson, who while good last year and I love him as a player, was not elite. Hopefully he returns to form this year. He single handily lost us a game, and should have lost us a second one but the refs thankfully didn’t call him for one of the most brutal pass interferences i’ve seen in a while. PFF had Dawkins ranked as the 21st tackle last season. Which puts him just outside the top 10, which is also good, but not elite. I think i’d rate him a tad higher.

Right. Everyone gets a gold star! Some folks on here are funny. They can never admit they’re wrong or misspoke. I always know they’re backed in to a corner and have nothing to say when they resort to some quip about my username. It’s like clockwork. Meh, let me have the last word.

Spiller was used to absolute perfection by Gailey. He wasn’t used more because Chan knew his productivity would fall off a cliff. Which it did, the second Chan was fired after that season. Not sure if you noticed, but “elite” Spiller never ran for a thousand yards again after that. He was never elite - but he was perfectly used by Gailey. But we can agree to disagree. A player without a top 7 stat in rushing yards, rushing TD’s and rushing yards per game is not “elite” in my opinion.
-
Spiller was elite while NOT being in the top 5 in rushing yards, rushing TD’s, rushing first downs, or rushing yards per game? Guess we have a very different definition of “elite”.
-
In that case then CJ Spiller was elite elite too. His 2012 season had more rushing yards than Cook had last year, with a higher yards per carry and more rushing TD’s. No one ever saw him as elite though (or close to elite) because that’s ridiculous. Teams ran the ball at an exceptionally low rate last year which boosted Cook’s ranking. In Spillers 2012 season, Cook wouldnt have even made the top 10 in the NFL in rushing and 52nd in rushing TD’s.
-
You feel that Cook isn’t far from elite? You are elite at creating strawman arguments.

This is a good question. We really know nothing about her other than she is good at tennis. That doesn't mean someone will be a good owner (or a bad owner). If driven people as owners/president meant successful teams then the Marlins would have been excellent for the past few years.
-
I'd take McDuffie over Taron. But Taron is great, no doubt. McDuffie is extremely versatile. He plays outside, inside, safety at times, can line up in the LB box, etc.
-
Beane is an A+ general manager in terms of constructing a solid top-to-bottom roster. But he has struggled mightily to get elite talent. I think that is part of the reason he swung for the fences with Von Miller. The Chiefs have 4 legitimate All-Star players in Mahomes, Jones, Kelce, and McDuffie. Bengals have Burrow, Chase, and Hendrickson. We just have Allen.

This was from just April and it showed the canopy fully covering the upper decks. And if the canopy doesnt fully cover the upper deck, it wont be able to cover any of the club seats.

There is an entire market of timeshares that are sold exclusively to wealthy people. Some of them have net worth minimums and the cost for the timeshare can be a million dollars or more. They're typically marketed as "residence clubs" with a "fractional ownership" instead of timeshare, but its very similar. Ritz Carlton and Regis are two such examples.
